Runner-up twice in maiden company over hurdles last term. Never a factor on chase debut then reportedly lame when pulled up in handicap chase at Hexham (20.1f, heavy, 6/1) 55 days ago. Back up in trip and this will reveal more.
|
Point winner who made a positive start to chase career when second at Hexham (3m, heavy) in October. Ran poorly tried in cheekpieces next time but back on track with headgear omitted when scoring at Ayr in December. Seemed beaten by more than revised mark back there latest.
|
Bounced back to form in refitted cheekpieces to win a 26.1f course handicap in November. Not quite in the same form at Kelso a month later.
|
Winner of an Irish point and matched pick of hurdles form fitted with blinkers when runner-up to Uptown Harry on chase bow at Newcastle 3 weeks ago. Since moved yards and he looks an interesting proposition in a change of headgear.
|
Ended last season out of sorts over fences but assessor has lent a hand and a bit more like it when fourth in a big-field handicap over hurdles at Ayr a month ago (20.5f). Return to 3m in his favour so dangerous if building on that back over the larger obstacles.
|
Shaped encouragingly after 9 months off when fourth of 8 in 19f course handicap hurdle in December. Point background offered hope but he was a bit disappointing on first crack over fences at Musselburgh and is now back over 3m.
|
C&D winner not the force of old but fared better than of late from a mark that's fallen a long way when second at Musselburgh in December and he then went one better from 4 lb out of the weights at Newcastle, drawing clear from Shadow Chaser. Effectively 8 lb higher but he did that readily.
|
Hasn't always been the most reliable but not easy to pass when he's in the mood, as he showed when forging clear in 7-runner handicap at Cartmel in August. Needs some motivating and labouring early both starts since.
|
Maiden pointer who hasn't seriously threatened under Rules, including on last week's chase debut. Was prominent in the betting though and a tongue strap now goes on.
|
Fourteen runs since last win in 2023 but yard going better now than it was and he stuck to his task when second of 7 in handicap chase at Ayr (24.1f, heavy, 5/1) 21 days ago. Enters calculations.
|
Not the most reliable but scored over fences at Hexham (24.2f) in March and back to that sort of form when creditable fifth of 12 in handicap chase over 26.1f here in November. Never going well when pulled up at Uttoxeter latest.
|
Plugged on to fill the frame twice over fences to end 2025 but he's still a maiden and must shrug off a heavy defeat at Ayr.
|
Improved under a change of tactics when successful in a 10-runner handicap chase at Hexham in May. Best effort since when third of 7 at Sedgefield (21f, soft) in December and he ran about as well as could be expected from out of the weights last time.
|
Irish point winner. Just poor form under Rules so far and back on his correct mark, he was off the bridle when short of room at Catterick, weakening from 4 out.

Forecasts
Shadow Chaser (3/1), Uptown Harry (11/2), Rob Roy Macgregor (11/2), Cave Hill (13/2), Raceview Road (8/1), Super Citizen (11/1), Carrhill (12/1), Lord De Vinci (12/1), Orkney Blue (16/1), Whispering Dancer (18/1), Wholly Boley (20/1), Joie More (22/1), Judicial Review (25/1), Gibberwell (33/1)
SHADOW CHASER promises to be a better chaser than hurdler judged on his opening second to Uptown Harry at Newcastle and from these revised terms coupled with his unexposed profile, he's taken to reverse the form. Rob Roy Macgregor, a former stablemate of the selection, can also get involved.
